April Fool, Poisson d'avril: Once upon a Time the Cod Were Plentiful

In French today is the day you try to pin a cut out fish on someone's back, as an April Fool's joke. What follows is far from a joke, but an eloquent tribute to the Portuguese men who fished for cod from small boats by hand.

The quality of the YouTube video isn't good, but the film is easily available for purchase from the NFB.
